Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Is there such thing as negotiating without possibility or impossibility? Dad said he wanted time to think.

Naturally, this time I brought up a story that is unacceptable as a nobleman.

It would be too risky, and if my father and I were in the opposite position... we would be distressed about what we should do. I don't expect this one to be accepted soon either. On the contrary, I'm more afraid of being recognized immediately.

But apparently, Rudo Fomet... wasn't the tougher person I imagined. My father's face, which I haven't seen in a long time, has made me feel a lot older than what I remember, but the words tell me enough that he still thinks I'm his son.

This would seem to have more winning eyes than I imagined. At least it feels like I can accommodate as much money as I want to let you live in this land.

Negative signs are contained in the Night Crystal. The problem is Vampire Hunter, a vampire hunt after me, but no matter how much Kainusi is a pro, it's unlikely he'll catch up with me yesterday today.

No, it's a story that's never going to happen if you think about it in common sense. If it catches up to me, it's the worst pattern that they can capture my current position for any reason and have more than the same speed of travel as me at all costs.

Thank you for waking up from sleep and again today. Crawl out of the closet and gently check your body condition to join the centers in the next room.

As always, no curse was activated when entering Cenri's room.

The sun had fallen halfway, and a light-ink world had spread outside the window. It's time to make a promise. I have to see my father again.

Depending on your response, you will be freed from being chased.

But in some cases, my father... doesn't really want to think about it, but he'll have all the moves to purify me.

An undead is a being out of the rules of the world - a dirty soul. It is assumed that souls in the hands of the Necromancer cannot ascend to heaven unless purified. I mean, as general common sense, purification isn't about killing, it's about salvation.

Well, it's pretty suspicious if there really is heaven, so it's only pre-built (and this is how the solid centipede keeps me alive without purifying me right away), but it must be a very heavy fact for my father to have my soul mauled over having my body faked and sold out.

I choose purification for my sake. [M] It's an extra favor, but it's also unlikely to take that option - I can't say.

I told my father that I would come back the next day to think about it. I only gave you one day to reduce the risk as much as possible. It's hard to be convenient to end knights in just one day, and few mercenaries or anything like that can defeat vampires.

I only self-loathe myself a little bit for not being able to trust my real father, but this was all I needed to survive.

Finish dressing and tell the glasses centers that were waiting for me.

"I'm going to ask my father for his answer. I know it's unlikely, but I think it could be waiting. Will you come with me?

".................. of course"

Cenri didn't hesitate, he accepted.

Cenri is part of the Knights of the End. I have proof of that.

I never told my father about my companion. [M] It would be hard to believe that the End Knights would cooperate anyway, and it is possible that my father contacted the End Knights and leaked information from there to Ephe.

Besides... she's betraying the Knights of the End and helping me now. To use that position of betrayal is too harsh a story to consider Cenri's character.

But... not with your eyes. Once Cenri finds out she's cooperating, she might change her father's mind, too.

Also, the centipede is pure. I stuck my fangs out a few times, but there's no dirt in that soul. Even if you don't get my voice, it could reach her. [M]

I am nervous without even the pattern. The centipede gently holds my hand when I think about it. The white fingertips of superb blood tangle in my hand.

Cenri smiled softly and told me to reassure her with a voice that was almost the same as when we first met.

"It's okay... I won't betray you. Together, I'll give you a run."

§

Break into Fomet's mansion again and head to his father's study.

The perimeter security was only a little sweeter than yesterday. Maybe my father reduced it for me, but it seems too defenseless. Not the kind of mouth I could say, but maybe I should point out a little more security.

Explore the signs of the study from outside the window. I haven't been trained or anything, but if I concentrated, I could tell from a distance if it was because of vampire instincts.

There's probably only one person, father. At least, there's no sign of a large number of living people. It was less likely that they were waiting.

When you put the centipede on your back, you go up to the window in a breath.

Today...... there was no sign of disgust. Open the window from the outside and break in. The windows open vigorously and the raw, warm air enters.

Rudo Fomet was the only one waiting in the study.

From the complexion, I can see that it is slightly pungent. I guess I worried all day.

My father frowned when he looked at me, but he immediately noticed the centipede on my back and opened his eyes.

"Oh, are you here......... what about that dorsal daughter?

"Senli Silvis. My... collaborator. Look, I have to breathe blood right now to live... and I only get a little blood."

"Huh... Listen, he's not here"

Father's expression is obviously distorted. Did Dad think I was doing the undead harmlessly without hurting anyone?

There's no way. I certainly didn't say it clearly......

The duty of nobility is to control the territory and therefore to protect the people. Psychological hurdles are pretty good in a son who has become a monster but stays sane and a son who has become a monster and stays sane but can't help but sip blood...... maybe not. Failed. Should I have hidden it through for a while?

Was it premature to have Cenri meet...? You were floating a little knowing my father didn't sell my body out...?

The tight air spreads between me and my father.

But then, when Senri stepped off my back, she turned a resolute gaze toward my father.

A little low for a woman, but says in a well-touched voice.

"Sir Fomet, it's an honor to meet you. I... Senri Silvis. I'm a member of the Knights of the End."

Plain colored robes. From its pocket, take out a small seal made of gold and silver.

A testament to the Knights of the End - a patterned seal with a combined sword and cross.

I feel a little sick the moment I see it. I've never seen it before, but maybe you thought about me and kept it from me.

Unexpectedly, I open my eyes too. Look seriously at Cenri's back.

She showed Ephe her willingness to return her sword. Given her character, it's impossible to use a position that is essentially exiting.

But I'm not lost in Cenri's voice. He's turning his back on me and facing my father. [M]

It is unlikely that the Knights of the End will come to such a single country. Not to mention I must have never even thought about it, like my son who became undead has one of them. My father's expression distorts me in amazement.

"!? Knights of the End...... you say?

"Now... temporarily, away from my people... your son is truly strong. Even if my soul is mauled by evil technique... I have not lost my sanity at all"

The word did not precipitate. My father retreats like he was overwhelmed by a different daughter twice. Don't always bluff slightly. It's very rare for Cenri to use salutations.

The words coming out of my lips were straight as a blade, and full of certainty.

I feel a strong charisma. It was the all-ending knight everyone imagined there. Those attacked by vampires are supposedly contaminated with their spirits, but there are no shards of that.

I want to suck blood. I blushed and killed a terrible bloodsucking impulse that struck me.

Cenri says.

"Sir Fomet… the concerns you may have are the best. But here... trust him, will you leave it to me?

§

It was the best possible outcome. The pressing air that had existed until earlier was foggy.

My father says with a tense, unnerving look.

"... apparently, you've found a great partner. I'm relieved."

"Yeah. This was the only thing that made me undead."

"... don't be silly, Liel.... Oh, was it the end now"

My father says as if he was heartbroken. But... I meant it.

Helpful. If anything happened, I'd be in a position to wipe her out, but if I were human, I wouldn't have been able to suck Cenri's blood, and I wouldn't have gotten as many girlfriends as she did.

I didn't think Cenri would be on my side until then, but I can tell you that I negotiated with Ephe in violation of the danger of being destroyed.

What my father had for me was notes and maps full of cases, ID cards, and - one key.

"... unused, the Mansion. I need to clean, but to hide myself...... I would dress up. As long as you two live together, it shouldn't be a problem. But be careful."

Receive the key given to you with an uneasy look somewhere.

It would mean that you can stay in this territory for a while.

No way, I didn't expect you to provide not only funds, but even places. Rudo Fomet has a lot to protect. The Knights of the End, of course, if the country finds out, their necks will fly.

When you think about your father, you can't be here forever. But we should be able to get a better attitude.

There's no line between me and my father, and this key you gave me should be okay if I'm traced.

Concerns cleared up and I felt great. I was in the mood to talk a little more, but if someone came into the study by chance.

If it works, we'll have another chance to discuss it.

Grab the case and the map, thank you again, head to the window.

Unless an end knight comes close enough to detect negative forces, it is unlikely that he will find out who I am.

Maybe one day... you'll be allowed to come in through the front door.

My father says it in a serious voice to me when I think about it.

"Riel...... no, the end. I can't allow you to name Fomet right now. You're dead."

"... oh, sure, I know that much"

If I find out and my relationship is suspected, my family will also be annoyed. I don't need to be told that. I'm not even going to name it.

......... With that said, you've carved it into Lew's grave. Well, I don't think anyone cares.

My father made me laugh at my shoulders. [M]

"But... instead, I will give you the title of Baron as a sign that you are my son"

".......................................... Low"

"Huh... don't complain. It's a story you can't even hope for."

My father says at the glance. I got a little funny and laughed. [M]

"Oh, I get it. Thanks, Dad."

Baron End. The talk is a little bad, but I don't feel bad.

Above all, there will be no one else, such as a lower vampire with a title.

"... Lord Cenri and I need to talk a little bit about keeping secrets. I'll be done in a minute, so just wait outside."

What are you talking about? I'm a little curious, but if it was something I really needed to know, Cenri would tell me later.

I trust Cenri to that extent.

Nodding loudly, I felt better than when I entered and jumped out the window for a breath.
